dBpoweramp R17 [Windows & OSX]

This new release features many enhancements, it is 20% faster on multi-core machines and is future-proofed through handling 64 cores. A new DSD encoder is included as standard (Reference), as well as many previously optional codecs, which are all updated to the latest releases. A new Quick Convert right explorer right click menu is a welcome addition to those who have many conversions to run a day, skipping over the codec options page, saving time. CD Ripper gains a manual metadata search page, de-emphasis CDs handling and improvements to metadata searching.
